I’m all for some BUFFY spinoffs, with diversity and great representation and telling interesting stories with their own new spin on the mythology of the buffyverse, but don’t reboot what Buffy was (the greatest television show of all time). https://t.co/7R8y4CC4yT

They didn't want the reboot

Other fans of the original series were just annoyed that the series was getting a reboot.

“I hate all these reboots as it is. But please leave #Buffy well alone. It helped change TV genre. Some things don’t need to be redone, they are fine the way they are. Be creative find something new,” wrote one Twitter user.

Another added: “I’m sorry but literally nobody asked for a Buffy reboot. A revival ... yes. But not a reboot. The original TV series told a perfect story and did everything it set out to do (revolutionising television in the process). Why would you mess with such greatness?”

There's no air date yet

Monica Breen, who previously worked on Agents of Shield with Whedon, will serve as series showrunner and write the reboot’s script.

The reboot hasn’t been given an air date and is not yet attached to a network, but is expected to be pitched to streaming services such as Netflix at a later date.

Based on a 1992 movie that bombed at the box office, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a surprise TV hit and ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003.

The popular series made Gellar a household name and launched the careers of Alyson Hannigan, Michelle Trachtenberg and David Boreanaz.
